ELECTUS

Asked Lareem, a Guard Commander in the Kingdom of Maleemia, the Capital Kingdom of

Septemtrions Ignis.

"Offer them these two options. They can either work for me or be executed."

Said Tamzar. Leader of the Snow Ignite revolution. Mastermind of the main attack who led the Snow Ignites to a groundbreaking victory and who caused the worst army shortage Ignis ever faced.

He attacked with 300 Snow Ignites gathered after years and years of work, ⅔ of those Snow Ignites didn"t have Freezing Powers either. He won a battle against 1000 Soldiers.

How? You"ll see.

"What use can we make of those Soldiers My King? We have enough Soldiers of our own. We didn"t even lose one after the revolutionary attack which costed us the deaths of nearly 140 Soldiers. Would it be wise to arm them from inside the Kingdom?"

"No no my friend. They won"t be working as Guards or Soldiers. If they have any skills of value, they will be hired and paid.

After 3 years of work they can decide if they want to leave the Kingdom or continue to work here. If they decide to continue to work here, they will be offered a house to live in except just living in one house with other sweaty meat bags and they will pay taxes like any other house of people.

They will have a normal life instead of just risking their neck for their power hungry overlords."

The newly appointed King, Tamzar is a very honourable man. His intelligence didn"t necessarily lead to "I should own everyone and everything" type of ego.

He is rather a very fair person unlike his ancestors who almost swallowed Meridionali Ignis in the second era if Akareas didn"t prevent it.

But if Meridionali Ignis was invaded in that time, perhaps this long war would of never happened. But yet again, if the Snow Ignites owned 3 countries, what would stop them from getting the fourth?

"Sounds like an offer to good for Soldiers who just tried to kill our people sire. Is it wise to give them this much?! You would be considered the most generous if you spared their lives and made them slaves!"

"The ill.u.s.tratian alliance overworked them due to the shortage they are having for almost 200 years now.

To live here with reasonable working hours and a warm free house to stay in, they will see our way of life. Our points of view.

If anything, we will bring peace to this race. They were above us but peace was never on their side even though they "won" before."

"I"m not sure how this will play out but I don"t expect a miracle my King. I"m not going to lie to you! I think they will try to reclaim Maleemia.

Should I give them a short interview sire. I"m more than willing to do it!"

"Have our Guards bring them up here and you pa.s.s down the word to my a.s.sistant.

She has been rather busy these days but have her make this task her main priority for now.

We are looking at workers we didn"t have to put work in to get here."

Snow Ignites have a long history of being ahead of time with Magical Powers. Even with Fire Controlling. Which is fascinating as it isn"t their main power.

They spent their entire life studying and training.

"Of course Sire. But what if one doesn"t want to die but has no valuable skill?"

"Send them to the mines."

Even in such cold conditions, Snow Ignites don"t have trouble working in a mine or carrying a cart through the snow.

Their skin is as white as snow itself(literally).

That"s why they are called snow Ignites.

They used to be the same as typical Ignites but they evolved to be Snow Ignites due to their bizarre living conditions which was usually on top of the cold mountains.

Their bodies evolved so well that freezing cold temperatures would feel like 20°C to them as their average body temperature is hotter, to put up with the cold.

They have the ability to swim through freezing cold waters for a kilometer and survive. If they don"t get dragged down by a fish that is.

Their feet evolved in such a way that they can walk through snow barefoot without slipping or getting frostbite. They are basically mini yetis. Just less hairy.

Their Hands are more like claws, proper for mountain climbing. Living scattered in caves and ruins after the ill.u.s.tratios invaded about 200 years ago, such attribute was enhanced more.

If an ill.u.s.tratio or typical Ignite was to work in the mines however, he has to be properly equipped.

"And if they don"t wish to work in the mines?"

"Feed them to the Bears."
